Re: [Pharo-project] Re: [ANN] Demo with both Truetype + Polymorph
Got it. My basic algorithm for finding problems usually starts with "what could Microsoft have done to screw this up?" I faltered. In this case, MS could have made a mockery of the file names in the archive, and that is apparently just what they did. I do not care for 7-Zip's user interface, but the engine works. It magically understood the archive (what's that word again, standards???<g>), unzipped all the files, and now everything works. Very impressive BTW. Dumb question: to copy an image/changes between machines, would I simply copy the image and change files (a few levels down in Resources), and leave the rest of the "one click image" alone?

That rings a bell. I had the same problem with the early Sophie releases. The Windows unzipper tried to create a folder and a file with the same name. I reported the problem to the Sophie team, and with the most recent releases of Sophie, Windows can unzip it ok. Might be worth finding out how they got around the problem. Cheers, Andy

Yes, but you would need to update the references to the image file On Windows, you'd have to change pharo.ini. There is a line that references the image file name. On Linux, something similar. On Mac, something similar. But, it might be easier to just rename the image and changes to match pharo.image, pharo.changes.

I think the problem is the Mac: the zip creates hidden files (starting with a dot, I think) for storing the resource fork of the old macos filesystem. I should create the zip differently... Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@iam.unibe.ch http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~denker
